Abstract
Today in the European area the term "Non-Governmental Organisation" primarily encompasses those organisations that are independent from the government in ali segments of their existence - their foundation, their operation and their ceasing. Such organisations are also called non-profit, independent, voluntary and similar. Non-Governmental Organisations act upon many areas, and the result is their great diversity. Therefore, in modem societies the term "Non-Governmental Organisation" comprises many entities (associations, endowments, foundations, institutes, agencies, trade unions, political parties, staff rooms, religious groups, etc.) out of which many are a topic of comparative analysis in this article, where throughout the view of historical development of civil society and Non-Governmental Organisations in Croatia and Slovenia, analyses their volume, structure and the area in which they act in Croatian and Slovenian societies.
